 I was so sorry to hear about Sally, my deepest sympathy to all the family, she was a kind loving lady.and always smiling. Loved her family and friends. I grew up with Sally and have a darling picture of us all playing together. We had so manny good times. As we grew up we both went our separate ways. I did get to see Sally a few summers ago and we had a good chat about our good memories of years ago. May God bless you and comfort you at this sad time, prayers and love For Sally. A dear friend, I will always remember her with good memories. Carol Fillman (Sandsbury)

 To the Allen family members  My deepest sympathy for the loss of your wife, mother, sister and especally grandmother. I will always remember Sally from our high school days and hanging out in the drugstores and the weekend dances at the Legion Hall. She always had a smile on her face and was full of energy. I am not sure why she always called me "Cuz" because i do not think we were related. I will always keep these memories and they bring a smile to my face. I miss you "Cuz." John H. Wasierski

 To my brother-in-law Bill and your children Steve, Billy, Lori, Lisa and Lynelle and all of the grandchildren  Peggy and I send our sincere prayers to each of you on our loss. Sally was remembered by Peg's mom as a full-of-life young lady when she met her in Miami a long time ago. We remember her as a devoted mother and grandmother. She gave to those who had needs and cared for the youth of Nantucket in special ways. I am laid up with blood clots so I could not make the graveside service but we were there in our thoughts and prayers. We ask each of you to remember Sally as not only your wife and mother but as your friend with a smile. Love to all, John and Peggy Allen, St. Charles, Mo.

 Mom  Sometimes you were my best friend, sometimes not so much. In ways we are much too alike and then again I learned from our mistakes. It hurts me that I was not there in the end, but I will always have the memories good and bad. I will miss every time I want to call for a recipe or gardening tips or just to vent about my daily challenges with my family. I love you,

Lori

 Bill Jr. Lisa and family  I never really knew your mom, but i wanted to send my regrets for your loss. Even though I was just a washashore, my time on Nantucket and working at Don Allen Ford for Bill Jr.and the Tornovishes was a joy and experience I'll never forget. Enjoy your memories of Sally. They'll put a smile on your face. Thank you, Matt Whalen

 To the whole Tornovish family  Our deepest sympathies in the death of Sally. You are in our thoughts.

 Grammey was the best at gardening and loving people that are close to her. She has the best way of showing it and she gave me hope and made me feel loved whenever I was down. My Grammey moved from Nantucket with my papa And moved to Florida and made new friends as she loved my grandpa, er two boys and three girls. She also loved her in-laws and her 11 beautiful grandchildren and all the dogs she could ever see, she always knew we were safe because she trusted and loved everyone that were there to help her and love her back . Evan Patrick Angus

 Our cousin Sally was a wonderful person who lived next door to us in Deltona. She was someone who knew how to grow things and gave us helpful hints for our own gardening endeavors. We enjoyed so much having her next door. We're only sorry it couldn't have been longer. We will miss her. May God bring comfort and encouragement to all of her family. Love,

Dick and Joanne Cummings

 Bill and family  our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sally was a wonderful person who will be missed by all who knew her.

John and Frances Grangrade and Family

 Bill, Steven, Billy, Lori, Lisa and Lynelle  I have so many great memories of your mom and the time I spent at your house growing up. There aren't any words that can take away the loss you're feeling, but hopefully knowing there are so many people who care will help to give you the strength you need during these difficult days. Your memories that you hold on to and cherish will help to sustain you. With deepest sympathy, Nan Caton Cardos

 Our memories of time shared are endless. Just a few of our memories include time shared on Nantucket and in Deltona, trips to Nascar races in Atlanta and Florida, our children growing up together, yard sales, and most of all, our trips to buy plants and Sally working in her gardens. We will truly miss her. She was a best friend forever.

Pat and Bill
